Fluxim is seeking applicants to take part in the European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Training Network program FADOS. The successful candidate will join a cohort of 17 students scattered among 16 research groups in Europe and the UK.
1. Program: MSCA Doctoral Network FADOS
2. Focus: drift-diffusion modeling of electronic and ionic doping in organic semiconductors; C++ implementation in Setfos
3. Host: Fluxim (Switzerland) | Enrollment: University of Heidelberg (Germany)
4. Secondments: Spain, Germany, UK
5. Start: 1 February 2026 (flexible) | Contract: 36 months | Apply by: 15 October 2025
In the framework of the FADOS project, we look for a computational scientist to carry out a PhD project (physicists and chemists with experience in semiconductors and with a strong programming background are also welcome to apply). The PhD student will develop novel, generalized models of doping in semiconductors, based on the drift-diffusion framework of Fluxim’s simulation software Setfos.
The PhD project involves the following responsibilities:
· Develop, implement and test models of doping and trapping phenomena, including electronic and ionic transport processes in organic semiconductors and beyond
· Extend capabilities to simulate electro-thermal behavior in a variety of semiconducting devices
· Test and validate the developed models and simulation tools, including comparison with experimental data
· Contributing to the development of software prototypes, testing procedures, and documentation.
· Collaborating closely with international project partners from the FADOS network.
· Three international secondments (Spain, Germany, and UK) on comparing simulations of charge transport using different levels of theory and collaborating with experimental groups to validate the developed models
· Writing scientific publications and giving presentations at scientific conferences.
With the outcome of the project, the student will help guide Fluxim’s efforts in providing high-end R&D solutions to industries including photovoltaics, LED and displays, and thermoelectric.
